About me

I dig in the dirt so you don’t have to.

Nice to meet you, my name is Simon Briatka. A full-time retail trader, former C-level executive in a tax/advisory EU company and a published writer. In the process of founding an investment fund.

I launched this website because it combines two things I’m passionate about: markets and writing. Everything published here is free for all.

Investing in and trading securities carry significant risks of losses, even the possibility of losing more money than you put in. The vast majority of retail traders lose money, by some accounts upwards of 95%. Past returns do not guarantee future ones.

Every decision you make with your own money is yours alone and should be made solely after proper due diligence and research. If you need advice, I recommend you get it from someone licensed to give it, who is willing to look at your situation, circumstances and obligations, and to acknowledge your risk tolerance.
